we very much still have a crisis in our economy. one out of two americans are in poverty or living at a low income and headed towards poverty. about 25 million people are either jobless or working in jobs that do not pay living wages. there are millions of people who lost their homes, approximately 8 million. there is no end in sight to the foreclosure crisis. we have an entire generation of students who are effectively indentured servants, who are trapped in a forgiving loans and do not have the jobs to pay them back -- and for giving loans and do not have the jobs to pay them back. we very much need new solutions. what we hear from both barack obama and mitt romney are essentially a rehash of where we have been not only for the past four years, but certainly for the eight years before that. we're hearing more about deregulating business and wall street, as if we did not having a problem from that already. we're hearing more about tax breaks for the wealthy, and we've seen tax breaks continue over the past many decades across all s

how is the economy doing? joined by alison kosik, new york stock exchange, to talk a little bit about this. alison, the candidates will be pressing each other on the whole issue of jobs. what does the picture look like for jobs? >> you know, with jobs, it is improving slowly, but the reality is it is just not great. we got another little sliver of information today from adp, it said private sector employment gained by 162,000 jobs in september, but this is just a clue of what to expect on friday from the government jobs report. that's really the biggie, the report that counts. it factors in the private sector jobs, it counts government jobs which actually have been shrinking and the expectation is that the economy added 110,000 jobs in september. and, you know, that would be just be okay, because the reality is we have got a long way to go. in early 2009, the economy lost over 800,000 jobs a month. this by the way is the year that president obama took office. compared to that, 110,000 on friday would be good.

you should not raise taxes when the economy is in trouble. our economy is in more trouble today. the growth rate last week was a pathetic at 1. 2%. >> very much for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> we finally get to the issue that rich people need the money because they create the jobs. i want to bring in ed and al and steve and chris back into this discussion. i want to bring back chris matthews in denver in terms of hearing the republican spin on this. seeing what seems to be real democratic frustration on this. we're hearing already in terms of the different responses. the romney side is proclaiming victory. the obama campaign does not seem to be doing that. chris? >> when you read "the new york times" tomorrow, you'll see a side bar, strong night for romney. i think it's an objective -- it may be theater, but this is a major campaign event of the entire cycle. maybe the major campaign event treated as a lesson in information or education. it was a campaign event and both sides went at it to win and one side won. i go back to a couple of points. romney was able to get away

and that was about the economy. and that's what people were feeling and hurting. >> when we talk about the fact you were the last female journalist to have access to a presidential debate like this and would you remind everybody that gwen eiffel moderated the '04 debate, an honor, but not a game changer, but you did write a piece -- we have candy crowley, who has the duties for one of these debates. you say don't forget, you will be treated differently because you are a woman. how is it different for women or minority moderators, when it comes to those tough questions on a woman's right to choose. is there an extra cautious line women need to take in asking that? >> she's not going to have the chance. that's what i'm upset about. candy is going to have the same format that i had, which is the town hall format. that's questions from the audience. questions from the voters. it's not questions from the moderator. she will hold the microphone for the other people the way i did. and she won't get to ask her own questions
